xarray and pysteps, just good friends

xarray_pysteps.ipynb

xarray_pysteps_gif.ipynb

xarray_pysteps_hdf5.ipynb

in xarray_pysteps.ipynb [14], by using

bom = xr.open_mfdataset(filename, concat_dim='valid_time')

all files are correctly concatenated by the end time of the accumulation period.

@cvelascof Yes, you're right, this would work too, thanks! Regarding accumulation period, how is it with the MCH GIF files? Is it the minutes before or after the timestamp in the filename?

Not sure on MCH GIF files. Best assumption is always minutes until timestamp. Perhaps @dnerini knows.

It is the accumulation in minutes before timestamp for all the MCH QPE products.

ps: I really like the way your're putting together xarrays and pystpes, very impressive!
